I can't believe it was June 19th since we last posted! I knew it had been a while but didn't seem like that long ago! Time is flying by I guess.
Things are going forward here. We are so excited about the foundation God is laying. The growth in people has been unbelievable. It's so encouraging to receive phone calls and emails from people who are getting revelation while in the Word, or hearing praise reports of God moving in their life.
We are continuing to press on "Summer of Double". We believe that this summer will open the gateway to double in our lives. Last week, Pastor was in Mark 4:20,
"But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit; some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." Here's the keys: grab hold of the word and don't let go! Those who
hear and accept, meaning those who submit to the word and to engage into covenant, and
bear fruit will produce the double in your life to the point of 30, 60 and 100-fold. That's the progression of God!
That's exactly what the family of Gateway is doing! Grabbing ahold of that word and not letting go. We are seeing it produce in the lives of those who are doing that. God is always true to His Word and faithful to see it produce when we do our part!
Have a blessed day!
Everytime we try to get a picture, this is what she does. I told her, you can keep doing that but I'm going to use it when I need it! So this is why I do not have very many pictures of Cindy!
We were so excited to have some long time friends visit at service on Sunday. Brad and Teresa Hendrix and Brittany are in the Nashville area for a conference and they joined us for church this weekend! It has been a blast reconnecting with them this week. For those of you who may not know, Brad and Teresa served on staff at Celebration Church in Fresno. They were youth pastors there for a period of time before moving to Florida about seven years ago. We haven't seen them since they moved to Florida except maybe once when they visited Fresno about 3 years ago.
Honey, I love you with all my heart! You are MY hero, no matter how corny that may sound. I love to see how much you truly care for people and how that is at the heart of everything you do. You have led us to places we never thought we could be; places that are so wonderful and peaceful and full of contentment! You have made a great life for us and for that, we owe everything to God and to you for listening and obeying him no matter what the cost may be! I trust you with my life!
